Ricoh sit in (1 Viewer)

To be fair to Rob, I remember calling him all sorts for his views so I don't think he's really a SISU Lover.

I haven't received his formal request to be in the gang anyway.

That's exactly the point. I loathe SISU. I marched to bring us home, have previously protested against them and refused to attend Northampton, but I've since avcepted my voice is irrelevant to them. We need to be able to separate that hatred for the greater good of staying at the Ricoh. It's the only thing that counts right now.

Fucking hell. Why is it that you’re only doing something if you’re protesting. Some of us think that protesting isn’t useful to the cause. Some of us have given ideas that the trust could facilitate and fuck all has been done about it. You’ve got to be simple if you think the only action you can do is protest. I’ve emailed all of London Wasps corporate partners making them aware that I will not use their services while this carries on. I’ve suggested an open letter campaign aimed at the people that can change the situation but because I’ve not been seen shouting SISU Out with a bedsheet I’m going nothing. Piss off you prick.

I've already said that protesting is useless

Same shit different thread.

The fact that ‘SISU lover’ is leveled at fellow fans does nothing... other than expose the level of mongness we’re dealing with.

Timescale is key as is legitimate force. There’s no arbitrary 30 mins time limit.

Yeah a lot of it will fall down to interpretation and how much patience either side allows, but anyone sitting in shouldn't be under any impression that a match ticket excludes them from any potential repercussions of staying put when asked to leave.

Oh, hang on, I offended you. Shit. Sorry. It’s a misunderstanding.

I was trying to say ‘madness’ but I finally made it to the front of the Tim Fisher cock sucking line m8 :emoji_thumbsup:

Look if you love Sisi so much that a Sisi out chant offends you then you are right to stay away.
Doesn't matter what we protest against that chant will come out.
Your right I dont know you but I now your type plenty on here.
Scream and shout about everything but will not take any action themselves, shouldn't matter who organises it if you feel that strongly about it and nothing is being done do it yourself.
Fuck me even school children have organised one just this week.

This post here is exactly the issue with the attitude of some people. Just because someone has a different opinion he is now a Sisu (or even Sisi) lover. It's just childish. Grow up.

With regards the sit in, it's really no harm. Wouldn't join in with it personally as it isn't targeted the right way for me (we really need to be pressuring Wasps, they have all the power here). Before you say it, I don't agree with their stance on if the legal action is dropped, despite the fact I think the legal action is a waste of time. Wasps are essentially trying to blackmail them into stopping. I understand their stance, but they know they are hurting more than just Sisu by taking it. They are showing contempt for CCFC fans and the city of Coventry.

I'm all for trying to get rid of Sisu, but this isn't the time and protests are unlikely to bring about regime change. I can't think of any examples where it has. The right pressure on Wasps could soften them. It's where our focus should be right now, even if not in the long term.

I just think people are too blinded by their (rightful) hate for Sisu that they can't see the contributions other parties have made, and are still making, to our situation.

If anyone is interested the EFL ground regulations are here

might help clarify what is within the rules for protests, and what stewards can work to
